A Visit from St. Nicholas

On this day in 1823, Clement Clarke Moore's beloved poem A Visit from St. Nicholas (also known as 'Twas the night before Christmas) was first published.  The library has several versions in the collection, but all are checked out for the upcoming holiday.  However, 'Twas the Day before Christmas by Brenda Seabrooke is available; this beautifully illustrated book tells the story behind the famous poem and Clarke's inspiration for writing it.
Wishing all our Syosset community a wonderful holiday and a happy, healthy new year!
